Going in for a FLOSS CMS sounds good, but be aware that most CMSs
(FLOSS and otherwise) are riddled with security holes.  Hire a good
security consultant to help you out.

Why do you feel FLOSS CMS is so weak? I have worked on atleast two FLOSS 
CMS and I must tell you the core is robust. May be the additional 
plugins/ extension, modules, released by so many contributors, may not 
be that good of a work.
And about not knowing security holes, I believe security holes comes to

Your above comment is same as the view of many Windows clients! May you

windows update every alternate day.
FLOSS CMS's as a whole are not week, your choice is poor, PHP  Mysql 
combo may be the easiest to implement, not to mention cheap! you can 
make a few bucks and hire some kidds to patch your FLOSS CMS together, 
so that does not look too much like PHP-nuke. PHP has a history of nasty 
security hole, think before you make the choice and look at the project

[ilugd] not working as normal user

2004-12-20 Thread R.Vijayaraghavan

I installed the NVIDIA driver but the resolution does not go beyond
800x600 as a normal user. But if I work as root, I am able to change the
resolution to 1280x960 and it works. Second problem, my firefox themes
never get listed whenever I log in as a normal user but if I am root, I
am able to switch between all the themes.

I got an AMD 2800+ machine with Fedora Core 2 installed. I downloaded
the correct drivers, they even got installed correctly. I searched the
archives but could not find anyting similar to my problem.

regards,
vijay.

You haven't configured your X to make 1280x960 available to normal user, 
try setting it up as a an option in the XFree86Config-4 file in the 
Screen section

I got an AMD 2800+ machine with Fedora Core 2 installed. I downloaded
the correct drivers, they even got installed correctly. I searched the
archives but could not find anyting similar to my problem.
 

You installed all the themes as root, the themes are installed in your 
.mozilla directory in root. if you want them to be available to your 
normal user either
1. Install them as the user or,
2. copy the .mozilla/firefox directory from root to the users home 
directory grant ownership to the user and starts firefox

And had it been even anywhere close to 15 lac page views per day do I even

[ilugd] (fwd) [SECURITY] [Announce] GnuPG stable 1.4 released

2004-12-20 Thread Raj Mathur
[New version of GnuPG available.  Note: the older version (1.2.x) is
still stable and secure.

Gotta love the MIME separators in the message -- think Carnivore
overloading.  Mommy, why doesn't my mail client also make separators
like that!? :) -- Raju]

This is an RFC 1153 digest.

Hello!

We are pleased to announce the availability of the new stable GnuPG
series.  This first release is version 1.4.0

The GNU Privacy Guard (GnuPG) is GNU's tool for secure communication
and data storage.  It is a complete and free replacement of PGP and
can be used to encrypt data and to create digital signatures.  It
includes an advanced key management facility and is compliant with the
proposed OpenPGP Internet standard as described in RFC2440.

1.4.x is very similar to 1.2.x although a lot of improvements have
been added over the course of the last 2 years.  There are some minor
incompatibilities when using very rare options but in almost all cases
it may just replace the 1.2.x versions (as well as 1.0.6).

Please note that the 1.2.x series will enter end of life status on
January 1, 2005, after which it will only be updated for security
critical bugs.

Before then, we expect one more 1.2.x release to address a few minor
outstanding issues (the fixes for which are already in 1.4.0), and to
update the translations.


Getting the Software


Please follow the instructions found at http://www.gnupg.org/download/
or read on:

GnuPG 1.4.0 may be downloaded from one of the GnuPG mirror sites or
direct from ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt .  The list of mirrors can be
found at http://www.gnupg.org/mirrors.html .  Note, that GnuPG is not
available at ftp.gnu.org.

On the mirrors you should find the following files in the *gnupg*
directory:

  gnupg-1.4.0.tar.bz2 (2658k)
  gnupg-1.4.0.tar.bz2.sig

  GnuPG source compressed using BZIP2 and OpenPGP signature.

  gnupg-1.4.0.tar.gz (3837k)
  gnupg-1.4.0.tar.gz.sig

  GnuPG source compressed using GZIP and OpenPGP signature.


Select one of them. To shorten the download time, you probably want to
get the BZIP2 compressed file.  Please try another mirror if
exceptional your mirror is not yet up to date.

In the *binary* directory, you should find these files:

  gnupg-w32cli-1.4.0.zip (1626k)
  gnupg-w32cli-1.4.0.zip.sig

  GnuPG compiled for Microsoft Windows and OpenPGP signature.
  Note that this is a command line version and comes without a
  graphical installer tool.  You have to use an UNZIP utility to
  extract the files and install them manually.  The included file
  README.W32 has further instructions.  The source files are the
  same as given above.


Checking the Integrity
==

In order to check that the version of GnuPG which you are going to
install is an original and unmodified one, you can do it in one of
the following ways:

 * If you already have a trusted version of GnuPG installed, you
   can simply check the supplied signature.  For example to check the
   signature of the file gnupg-1.4.0.tar.bz2 you would use this command:

 gpg --verify gnupg-1.4.0.tar.bz2.sig

   This checks whether the signature file matches the source file.
   You should see a message indicating that the signature is good and
   made by that signing key.  Make sure that you have the right key,
   either by checking the fingerprint of that key with other sources
   or by checking that the key has been signed by a trustworthy other
   key.  Note, that you can retrieve the signing key using finger wk
   'at' g10code.com or finger dd9jn 'at' gnu.org or using the
   keyservers.  I recently prolonged the expiration date; thus you
   might need a fresh copy of that key.

   Never use a GnuPG version you just downloaded to check the
   integrity of the source - use an existing GnuPG installation!

 * If you are not able to use an old version of GnuPG, you have to verify
   the SHA1 checksum.  Assuming you downloaded the file
   gnupg-1.4.0.tar.bz2, you would run the sha1sum command like this:

 sha1sum gnupg-1.4.0.tar.bz2

   and check that the output matches the first line from the
   following list:

0054635a131b7af383e956fa9e1520ac44cad116  gnupg-1.4.0.tar.bz2
7078b8f14f21d04c7bc9d988a6a2f08d703fbc83  gnupg-1.4.0.tar.gz

[ilugd] Postgres on Linux Cluster!!!

I have recently transfered a big database on my master node of a 4 node openSSI 
Cluster... The system is working fine but sometimes, I get following errors:

This error comes while insertion of data takes place...
Is Postgres successfull on Cluster??? Will that give me performance enhancement 
in any way??? Please help...
